Posted August 17, 2016 I recently bought a GTX 1070 and my i7-920 feels a bit outdated so I'm wondering whats the best CPU and Motherboard combo around $300 and I'm looking for Intel CPUs but i'm open to suggestions with AMD CPUs.

A 6600k and Z170 board is feasible for that much. |PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.
